Is there a repository for symbols and footprints for KI?

You don't mention what operating system you are using. There is a large
repository of symbols, footprints and 3D models. I'm slightly surprised you
don't already have it installed.

BTW, you're not the oldest around here. Not by some way.

Neither am I, Gene, @ 90.? A little closer perhaps.

I'm not a moderator on this group, but if I were, I would mildly rebuke you for replying in a thread and changing the subject. This does not create a new topic and merely messes up message threads for those of us that use email threads to follow topics.

If you want to comment on a new topic, starting a new thread is the correct netiquette.

Right now I'm on Windows 10-pro.? I'll be upgrading to 11-pro in February, when I change out several PCs.

The only symbols/footprints I have installed are those which came with the download installation of the distribution.? The Omron relay seems to not be included.

Interesting that I'm not one of the oldest.? In other groups I seem to be in the minority.? Perhaps it's because the type of work is not what younger people find interest in.

Merry Christmas!? Fred
